the real issue here as jay carney was trying to say is what happened before? what happened during perhaps but not what happened on sunday morning television programs. and there is an investigation that hillary clinton has commissioned. it is a legally mandated investigation. it's being led by none other than the former chairman of the joint chiefs, mike mullen, co-chaired by tom pickering, former u.n. ambassador, former ambassador to russia and deputy secretary of state. it's going to be coming out in mid december. it will be recorded to congress and i understand it will be very, very tough on the state department for not ramping up security which many people believe could be the real issue not what was said on sunday morning television. the white house is fighting for her. >> so andrea, i just am confused but maybe you can help straighten this out. i would think lindsey graham and senator mccain for sure -- i'm not sure about kelly ayotte, have been on sunday morning shows many, many, many times. and i'll leave it there and not even go to the point that maybe
